West Brom and Newcastle United have completed the loan swap deal involving Salomon Rondon and Dwight Gayle.

Gayle has joined Albion on a season-long loan deal with Rondon heading in the opposite direction for the campaign.

Darren Moore said: “This deal was in the best interests of both clubs. Dwight is a proven goalscorer in the Championship. He’s quick and sharp off the back of defenders and I believe he will add to our goal threat.”

Gayle said: “The manager attracted me. He’s really enthusiastic about my game and I’m buzzing to come down and I can’t wait to get started."

Here's how Albion fans reacted to the deal.

RyanPGlasgow: Even when you had to put up with Pulis and Pardew, being 30 yards from anyone else you never moaned or sulked you always worked hard for us. Thank you for your efforts and I wish nothing but the best for you at Newcastle.

Electricmudkip: Look after him lads good luck for the season.

FanWBA: Welcome to the Baggies Dwight.

Andy_Cooper9: Welcome @dwightgayle to @WBA. Proven goal machine at Championship level. Rondon deserves a crack in a team that plays some decent football (at times) and not that Pulis rubbish he’s had to endure the last three years. Good luck to him at the Toon. Hope he bangs in the goals.

Pete_WBA: Rondon gone...the truth is he is a very likable hard working player who is a very decent header of a ball...but missed so many chances it was unreal...Gayle has a great record in this division but it will be pointless having him if we don't play to his strengths.

RobWilliams93: Always gave his all for us, really hope he smashes it at #nufc all the best.

Mossi28: Delighted we've managed to get @dwightgayle hopefully we can get someone to supply him now.

Newcastle fans have also been discussing the move on social media - and one in particular didn't like the way the Magpies phrased their statement confirming the transfer.

Alistair10: Why are the club having a dig at Dwight Gayle? ‘Found goals much harder to come by’. What’s the point in saying that? Gayle will go down as a crucial player in our return to the Premier League, deserves more respect. Gayle has been a proud and hardworking number 9 for Newcastle. What is the need for the dig?
